The quote comes from Jerome Powell, former Fed chairman (spoken at Jackson Hole in 2023), but it could also apply to the dangerous work of crews crossing the Strait of Hormuz with all transponders turned off to evade Iranian surveillance.

This dynamic stems less from debates over the high level of public debt than from a fundamental reassessment of the monetary outlook.
